I don't hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people - and they're helpless with it.

I'm blacked than midnight on Broadway and Myrtle

I'm growing as an individual, but your always growing. All of my albums are snapshots of where I am artistically.

It wouldn't be fair to cast aspersions on an entire cultural movement based on the actions of a few. To quote my grandfather, 'One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch.'

I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater.

My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.

I'm not shy about heated debate or passionate discourse, but when people get crazy or rude, that's a buzz kill. There's got to be a better code of conduct, some basic etiquette.
